L.M.M. accused J.L.G. of frequent texts and contacting her employer, causing L.M.M. to worry J.L.G. would come to her workplace. The appellate court reversed and vacated the order, finding insufficient evidence that L.M.M. subjectively feared physical harm or that a reasonable person would fear physical harm, which are required elements for stalking under the Missouri Adult Abuse Act.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=175620","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lmm-respondent-v-jlg-appellant-109013","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: family-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
